"Feed the Machine" is a song by Canadian rock band Nickelback for their ninth studio album of the same name (2017). The band co-produced the track with Chris Baseford. "Feed the Machine" was released to digital retailers February 1, 2017, through BMG Rights Management as the album's lead single and impacted American rock radio on February 7.
"Feed the Machine" is a "defiant rock anthem"[1] with prominent metal-influenced[2][3] "djenty"[4] guitar riffs and "timely" lyrics about resisting an all-powerful government.[5][6] Critics have noted the song's style as being both a return to the "heavier" rock sound of their early works and a change of pace from the formulaic music for which they have drawn criticism.[6]
Critical receptionedit
Mike Wass of Idolator gave the single a mixed review, writing that "Feed the Machine" is "honestly not that bad" and "something of a change of pace" for the group.[5] Sam Law of lifestyle blog The Edge rated the song three stars out of five. He praised the song's "surprisingly catchy" guitar work but wrote that ultimately, "the most compelling thing about Nickelback's latest single is that it's not as awful as the rest of their work."[6]
Chart performanceedit
In Canada, "Feed the Machine" failed to enter the Canadian Hot 100 chart, but did reach number 39 on the Digital Songs component chart dated February 25, 2017.[7] The song entered the Canada Rock airplay chart at number 32 for the week of February 18, 2017, and has since reached a peak position of 1 on the chart dated March 25, 2017.[8]
